To make a presentation that investigates different renewable energy.


Aim: To make a presentation that investigates different renewable energy.


  1. Hydro Energy: when the water is moving, it can give the kinetic power, and this kinetic energy can give the power to every house or to the power plant. hydro energy is from the movement of the water. when we build a power plant we need to build an aer that has moving water.
  2. Solar Energy: solar energy is where you get power from the sun, and the power from solar energy is also given to power plants, but solar energy is better than hydro energy because solar energy is getting the electric power from the sun, and the sun will never disappear. but when the water is not moving or when the water is disappearing, the hydro energy will can't use.
  3. Wind Energy: wind energy is where you get the power from the wind, and it also is giving power to power plants, and they usually use windmills or wind turbines to harnessing or capture the wind and when the windmills are spinning around, and they will get the power.
  4. Wave Energy: wave energy was when the ocean surface is a wave. and the power is getting from the wave, and wave energy was like transport energy by ocean surface.


  1. Type: Hydro
  1. Is it used in NZ? Yes
  1. Other Countries that use it? Over more than 150
  1. How is it used to generate electricity? Hydropower plants capture the energy from falling water into a mechanical energy machine.
  1. Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand-drawn using a ruler and labeled.

  1. Type: Solar
  1. Is it used in NZ? Yes
  1. Other Countries that use it? Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, the United States, and Czechia, there were 6 countries use it.
  1. How is it used to generate electricity? Solar panels convert the sun's rays into electricity that we can use, so the sun's rays are where the energy comes from.
  1. Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. 

    1. Type: Wind
    2. Is it used in NZ? Yes
    3. Other Countries that use it?  France, Canada, United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, The United States, and China, there were 7 county use it.
    4. How is it used to generate electricity? Wind turbines convert the energy in the wind into a mechanical power then it can help homes, and this wind can also change to electricity and this is how the energy come from
    1. Type: Wave 
    2. Is it used in NZ? Yes
    3. Other Countries that use it? The western coast of Scotland, northern Canada, southern Africa, Australia, and the Northwest Coast of the United States. there was 6 county use it  
    4. How is it used to generate electricity? There is equipment on the surface of the ocean the gets energy from the movement in the water. 
    5. Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand-drawn using a ruler and labeled.



List 10 ways that renewable energy will be used in the future to replace our current activities.

  1. Solar energy can give electricity to the light
  2. In the future, electricity from solar energy can give to TV  
  3. solar energy can power the electric car.
  4. solar energy can be heat the water because it gives the electricity to the electric kettle 
  5. Solar energy can charge the phone because it gives the electricity to charge
  6. solar energy can also use for fans because it can give the electricity to the fans 
  7. in the future, it may give the electricity to the door and help the door open by themself 
  8. solar energy can change to electricity and use for other things. 
  9. also, the same solar energy may help the window 
  10. in the future, it can give the electric to the train so the train can be dive by himself so the people don's need to do anything.

To make a solar-powered oven

Aim: To make a solar-powered oven.

Materials: 

  1.   tape
  2.   pizza box
  3.   tinfoil
  4.   black plastic bag
  5.   ruler
  6.   plastic wrap
  7.   scissors
  8. stick 
  9. newspaper 
Steps:
  1.   use scissors to cut out a little square on the top of the pizza box, but don't cut out all top, just cut out the square in the middle of the pizza box, and mack suer is not too big or too small
  2.  put tinfoil around the square that you have cut.
  3.   use tape to tape around the square and mack sure you tape the tinfoil together with the square and mack suer that is tight.
  4.   open the pizza box, and put the plastic wrap at the top of the pizza box lid, but mack sure you use the tape to tape the plastic wrap with the pizza box lid.
  5.   put the newspaper around the inside of the pizza box.
  6.   you have done. 

Conclusion: there was not too much sunlight so the solar oven was not working well.

What is your Carbon Footprint?



What is your Carbon Footprint?

You are now going to look at your own carbon footprint by taking a questionnaire. Remember to 'Add details to improve accuracy'.

Based on the questionnaire what is your:

1. Ecological Footprint
2. Carbon Footprint

How many planets did you have?
2.3 earth 

What is your personal Earth overshoot day?
07 Jun



Name 2 of the tips.

  1.   biking to school or use the bus
  2.   when you go on holidays close your computer



Video questions:

What has human activity done to our planet?
we use so many further fillers to mack the energy, and there was too many CO 2 in the sky when we thought more rubbish, then there will have more CO2 come out.

What is Zero Waste?
Definition: when people use less rubbish is possible is we can

What stuff has a carbon footprint?
rubbish 
further fillers 


What are 2 easy things to help our planet?
  1.   separate up the rubbish so we don't pur so much rubbish in one rubbish bun and some of the rubbish and disappear.
    
    
  2.    tuen off your light when you go holidays.
What do we need to recycle?

  1. rubbish
  2. further fillers
What does recycling do to our plant?
when we recycling some clean rubbish then we may reuse the clean rubbish.

How much of our rubbish is made up of food scraps?
42%
What does methane gas do to our planet?
it was 84x more potent than co2 over the short term

What does soil due to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
soil can hold down the CO2, and soil was 3x of the trees.
What do using zero waste practices do to our planet?
when we start doing zero waste we actually can hold down the CO2 and other bad things, also zero waste can let our plants smell nice because when  we doing zero waste we actually dot through the rubbishi in a mix ban, we can through the rubbish in a lot of deffrien dtypes of rabbishi ban.

    What is a carbon footprint?

    carbon footprint was when some thing is brinf Co2 or other bad staffs, and carbon footprint was like rubbish, the foot we eat, and othere things.

    change & challenges

    Hi, guys.


    we have learned about who am I, and puberty,
    in puberty we have learned when we have changed, and what puberty
    does to our bodies.


    Normally every one  start puberty around 8-10 years old,
    but it can also start at 13 or 14, also the girls start puberty early
    than boys, when you start puberty your muscles will start growing,
    and  those places will have some hair growing,
    and the places were your leg, arm, chest, and for the boy there
    some mustache around the mouth, but only boys growing hair at the chest,
    and when you go thought puberty your voice is going to change. Every person
    will go through once puberty in there live.


    girls will go through puberty earlier, when girls get older they hip will get bigger,
    because when they have baby in the belly, and when the baby comes out, f the
    hip was too small the baby will not come out easily.



    here is my Bio Peom.
    Harry.

    I’m strong, clever, tall, and positive.

    I’m the big brother of Roy and Mitchell.

    Who loves playing basketball, and also likes math.

    The three emotion I fell most commonly are greedy, friendly, and passionate,

    The things that I most fears was, the disgusting ugly spider, and the darkroom.

    My achievement was got second place in the school basketball team and be apart of the school basketball team.

    I want mack in the basketball team next year, and I want to go back to China to see my friend.

    I was born in New Zealand Christchurch and live in Christchurch Wigram.


    when you perform a peom you need loud voice and you need focus, also you need to use your feel when you read the  poem

    Extreme weather wind power

    Measuring weather.

    Definitions:


    1.  Anemometer:
    2. Beaufort wind scale:

    Anemometer

    MATERIALS

    1. 1 rubber pencil  
    2.   4 small plastic round disc
    3.   1 pin 
    4. tape  
    5.  2 sticks 

    STEPS

    1.   tape up the plastic round disc with the stick x4
    2.   tape up the 2 sticks together
    3.   put the pin through the tape
    4.   let the pin go into the rubber on the pencil 
    5. put tape on the pin mack suer that is tight
    Groups size: 5 
    Roles:
    • Timekeeper
    • Counter
    • Recorder
    • Anemometer Manager
    • Wind Manager
    1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
    2. When the timekeeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
    3. Repeat the above step four (4) times and record the number of spins on the chart.

    FINDINGS


    Place name on school grounds                                    Number of Spins in 15 seconds
    1.Field1.5
    2.Old J Block site0
    3.Grass hill in quad0
    4.Tennis Court gate0

    CONCLUSION:  

    the windy place was on the field the spins have over to 1.5, with the highest one in all four places, the reason why I think the field was the windy place was that at the field has no trees and high staffs around, the reason why the others place was all 0 was that there have no wind, and the reason why the field was the highest was that the field has not high staffs and trees around, because thye high staffs can block the wind

    My Holidays

    Hi guys

    Now I'm going to tell you guys about what I did in the holidays.

    In the last two weeks of holidays, it was not much fun because in the first week it was full of rain and  I can't go outside and play sport, but luckily the second week was all sunny days, so I can play at outside. At the first day of the weekend, I was going to ask my friend to go playing basketball, but suddenly it was raining, so we just go home when I over home, the rain stopped, and I was thinking about going to ask my friend again but when I just going to go to friend home, the rain started, and I think, " I'm not going to go outside again. Then three days ago, it was full of the rain and I haven't got outside and played for four days, and I was so boring at those four days, and I just watch some TV show and playing some phone game, finally the next was all sunny, at next day I have  go outside and played basketball with my friend, and we have played for 2 hours,and when we got home the time was 5:30, and I know i can't be this lat anymore. and for the rest of the holidays, I just playing basketball with my friend, but on the second day of the second week my friend and I have to go to Wharenui basketball court  paying basketball, for 3 hours, when we check the time, it was 4 o'clock and my friend has called his dad and his dad has picked me and my friend up, and we have  go to buy a hamburger for lunch.

    this is what I did in the holidays.
